Week 23 - 3rd to 8th June 2010


When I woke up on Sunday morning with a terrible headache, I'd never have believed what came next. After over an hour of me alternately vomiting and screaming/crying Robert called our NHS 24 service who sent an ambulance to take me to Casualty. I was poked, prodded, injected and pumped full of Pain meds, anti-sickness drugs and fluids and finally admitted overnight. Two days later after CT scans and a very scary lumbar puncture I was diagnosed as having Viral Meningitis. I was finally allowed home but was weak and tired, Even getting dressed made me need a nap. I had abnormally high pressure in my CSF's (spinal fluids) which explains why I am prone to migraines, I hope that has been resolved now! When they drained the fluid the pain left immeadiately!! I've no pictures from Hospital.. I looked awful, pale, dark circles , covered in bruises.. and apparently according to my friends I still look very pale!.. so I guess instead, you guys just get a pic of the hospital I was in! I scared everyone big time!!!
